One thing I've been contemplating is that since e-Ink is a bit easier on the eyes than LCD, if you want a device that's predominantly for reading eBooks, then maybe a Kindle is a better way to go. Lack of color is the compromise there though. XD

But yeah, I was seriously hoping this thing was going to be a tablet PC with Mac OS on it instead of iPhone OS. The whole concept of iPhone OS makes sense on phone sized devices, but not on a device like this.

I might buy one, but I plan to wait and see first. :)

The latest question on my survey blog is “What should Apple have called its new tablet computer?” Come on by & share suggestions.
Thanks, Eric

Looks nice but I don't think it's a very desirable product since I own an iPhone already. If the iPhone never existed then I would probably be much more excited! You really can't beat the convenience and portability of the iPhone :) I really thought this would be the next revolution for Ebooks and magazines with some type of magical unique screen technology but it's really just a bigger iPod touch to me.

I like the product overall, but feel totally let down if I compare what was presented to the level of secrecy present. I mean, even K. Rose didn't utter a whisper.

It was a v1 product that should have felt like a v.10 of the iPhone/PodTouch.

Still like the product, but will need to be won by a breakthrough app to have me buy it. The basic stuff is not different enough from my iPhone.

The fact that it's 2010 and I need a dongle to connect a camera to this thing drives me insane. Wasn't this why we invented USB? So that we can have “Universal” device interfaces? But I digress.

Thanks Jeff! I don't know how I missed that. I guess having the iPad work the way I want it to will require a lot of new accessories.. :)

Daynah. Regarding your Storage Space section. If you look at
http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
Towards the bottom of that page they show pictures and mention an "iPad Camera Connection Kit". I think that might be what you are looking for.
